Assisted Living and Home Care for People with Alzheimer's and Dementia

Meals as Therapy

Meals at Providence Place elevate the basic need for food into a therapeutic experience stimulating all five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell.   

The aroma of baking bread and home made chicken soup that permeate our community remind us of many things; perhaps a time with family, a farewell feast, or a holiday celebration.

Each facet of Providence’s "Meals as Therapy" program views clients as individuals.  Personalization of meals is the keystone in providing healthful, nutritious food cooked to dietary restrictions as well as an enjoyable experience.  Providence’s on-site chef is one of our most valued and important caregivers.  He interviews each new client and inquires on a one-on-one basis if the meal has been enjoyable. For clients that have difficulty communicating verbally, we take great care to read the subtle body language signals to ensure they are fully satisfied.
